Thanks Jerry.

I don't want to use a server. So the router would have to do NAT.
Is it possible that way for the outside world to address the
printer directly since it has a network address, and not a
www IP?

You can probably setup the router to forward the ports used by that printer. The ports you'd need to forward are dependent on the printer driver.
